Alcoholic?

Am I an alcoholic?
I ask this question because I have seemed to developed a dependency on "the sauce" recently.
After working through an entire bottle of vodka in a little over a week, and then cracking on to consume the remainder of a large bottle of gin over the next week, I find myself getting "bored" just sitting in front of the television.
I must have something to hold.
Now, the 13 year old boy inside me would insert a dirty comment here about having "something to hold" but not me!!
So, after I clean up and put the tissues away, I find myself craving a drink.
Desperate times friends....desperate times.
